      No kidding, my entire life all I’ve seen is republican presidents take us into stupid ass wars.

      Why does anybody believe any of these people when they say they want to keep us out of wars?

        They’ve dragged the US government into 38 trillion dollars in dept dropping nearly a trillion dollars a year into the military industrial complex without an ability to pass an audit. Soon the largest expenditure in the US federal discretionary budget will be paying interest on on debts taken to feed that beast. But forgiving student loans and providing healthcare… we can’t afford that.

          Yea dude, the we can’t afford healthcare is an ubsolute lie.

          They want to keep us dependent on working for healthcare because they want their slave population to stay quiet.

          At some point if people want healthcare or anything else they are frankly entitled to people need to rise up and fight for it.

      We won’t be sending in ground troops this time. So there can’t possibly be a quagmire like we had in Iraq or Afghanistan. And Trump promised money to any ship that gets attacked in the Straight of Hormuz (which I’m more than confident that he’s good for) so trade will pick back up again as soon as the smoke clears.

      Honestly, I think he did a heck of a job and I’m excited to see what kind of incredible progress he can achieve for American foreign policy in Cuba next.
